Taylor Swift Wows in Elie Saab at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards

Taylor Swift attended the 2012 Billboard Music Awards, dressed in a show-stopping red Elie Saab gown for the event. Taylor’s red carpet style seems to get better and better all the time, and these days she is nothing but flawless on the red carpet. Here she has picked out an amazingly flattering, totally elegant look. The dress features daring lace inserts on the top half, while accenting her waist and flowing outwards in flattering pleats to the ground. The sleeveless design works beautifully against her polished looking porcelain skin, and she’s completed the look with dark eyeshadow and a black manicure.

With sleek straight hair and minimal jewels, Taylor’s look is perfectly balanced and not overdone, as so many stars go just slightly overboard when it comes to these events. It looks like she took Coco Chanel’s wise advise to remove one accessory before you head out the door – it makes for a more refined, demure effort. Once again Taylor simply shines here, but we’d never expect any less of her. Always flawless and effortlessly chic, Taylor owns every event she walks into and this one is no exception.
